Chapter 55: Which Character?
After walking out of Boss Huang's shop, Zhang Hao and his party came to the small teahouse around the store.
As soon as a few people sat down, Chen Yaoshen couldn't wait to ask: "Zhang Hao, do you see the problem?" ”
Qin Zhenye, who had just finished ordering with the waiter, also said to Zhang Hao: "Zhang Hao, hurry up and talk to us." ”
Bai Zhou looked at Zhang Hao directly with a pair of beautiful eyes, and the word "curious" was written all over his face.
Zhang Hao didn't need to sell it, and said directly: "I think there are some flaws in the material of the ink and rice paper." ”
"Ink?" Qin Zhenye groaned, "Zhang Hao, I didn't see any flaws in the ink, you can tell us about it!" ”
"Yes, I think the ink is almost exactly the same as your copy of "Thousand Character Text"." Bai Zhou also said,
"As we all know, Song Huizong loves to use Hui ink, and the thin gold text on this pair of calligraphy is black and smooth, firm and bright, which is the characteristic of Hui ink."
"These characters are indeed written in Hui ink, which is the wrong age of ink." Zhang Hao said, "The main raw materials of Hui ink are pine smoke, tung oil smoke, paint smoke and glue, which you all know.
The problem lies in the smoke.
Ancient lacquer was extracted directly from minerals, so the ink made of lacquer smoke has a natural black feeling.
And the calligraphy we see today, his blackness is a deliberate feeling. ”
"Hearing you say that, I also feel that the ink of Boss Huang's calligraphy is not natural enough." Qin Zhenye thought about it carefully and said, "But it seems a bit reluctant to say that the calligraphy is a fake based on this alone, after all, the ancient lacquer and ink making processes are not stable, and it is understandable that there are some differences." ”
"What Qin Lao said is that this alone is not enough to make a judgment that this calligraphy and painting may be a fake." Zhang Hao nodded and said, "Another flaw is in the paste of the copybook. Or rather, it's a problem with rice paper.
I don't know if you guys noticed? There is a pulp on the notebook, which happens to be on the ink. ”
"That's true." Chen Yaoshen nodded and said, "I still think this is the pride of this copybook, could it be that there is a problem with this pulp?" ”
"That's right, this paste is a replica." Zhang Hao said, "His imitation technique is very superb, and the overall appearance of the slurry is soft and smooth, which conforms to the characteristics of the slurry at the same time, but also has a sense of historical precipitation."
It's a pity that the more delicate he made the pulp, the more he exposed the problem of rice paper, and I personally thought that he was self-defeating.
The genuine ancient rice paper is characterized by the fact that the color appears light and old, and it is smoothed and clean, without impurities, and the paper looks old on the outside, but it must be new inside.
And I noticed that the place where the pulp was wrapped actually destroyed the surface of the rice paper, allowing me to see the inside of the rice paper.
Obviously, the inside of this rice paper is also old!
It's just that the pulp on the notebook is made naturally, as if the inside of the rice paper is also a part of the pulp. ”
"Hearing you say that, I also think that the pulp is a little too perfect." Qin Zhenye muttered, "However, I can't recall the more specific details." ”
Chen Yaoshen shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that only by going back to the store can we see the problem of pulp." ”
Bai Zhou asked puzzledly, "Grandpa, do you still want to go to that liar's shop?" ”
She is 100% convinced of Zhang Hao's judgment.
As for the reason...
Don't ask, it's a woman's instinct to ask.
"Lao Chen, if you really don't give up, I'll accompany you on a trip." Qin Zhenye sighed and said, "Look at the pulp that can be called a miracle workmanship, it's actually not bad." ”
"Grandpa, then let your grandfather accompany you." Bai Zhou took the opportunity to say, "Zhang Hao and I are waiting for you here." ”
"It's okay, you guys can drink tea and eat snacks here." Chen Yaoshen nodded and said apologetically to Zhang Hao, "Zhang Hao, I'm sorry." ”
Zhang Hao smiled: "Professor Chen doesn't have to be polite, it's good for me to sit here and rest for a while." ”
At this time, Boss Huang was cautiously making a phone call in the office.
He asked worriedly, "Brother Jie, they haven't come back yet, I'm afraid that the young man saw that something was wrong." ”
"No, didn't you say that Chen Yaoshen and Qin Zhenye didn't see anything wrong?" The person on the phone said incredulously, "These two didn't find a mistake, but let a young man see it?" ”
"Yes, I've been secretly paying attention to Chen Yaoshen's expression, and he is obviously very satisfied with this calligraphy and painting." Boss Huang said, "But the young man said a few words to him, and Chen Yaoshen said that he would go back to discuss." ”
"You calm down first, maybe this is their strategy to lower the price!"
"Well..."
Boss Huang was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door outside the office.
"Boss, the two customers who just left are back!"
"Okay, bring them here!" After Boss Huang responded to the employees in a loud voice, he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Jie, there is a play, they are back!" ”
A smug voice came from the mobile phone: "I'll just say, I'm not afraid to wait for good food!" ”
After hanging up the phone, Boss Huang opened the door of the office and greeted Chen Yaoshen and the others with a smile.
He looked around and said, "Professor Chen, Elder Qin, what about the other two of you?" ”
"The two young men had something to do in the afternoon, so I didn't let them come over." Qin Zhenye said quietly, "Boss Huang, we want to take a look at the calligraphy again." ”
Boss Huang said attentively: "No problem, please here!" ”
After a few minutes, Boss Huang's face became suspicious.
He clearly saw that Qin Zhenye and Chen Yaoshen were staring at the pulp on the copybook.
Boss Huang couldn't help but ask, "Two teachers, what do you think of this calligraphy?" ”
Chen Yaoshen said: "We have to discuss again, Boss Huang, see you another day." ”
With that, he walked out of Boss Huang's office with Qin Zhenye.
Looking at the two who left without delay, Boss Huang's face couldn't help but be gloomy.
He called again: "Brother Jie, that kid really saw the problem, this time only Chen Yaoshen and Qin Zhenye came over, and the two of them came up and stared at the pulp." ”
"How is that possible? Supposedly, my old work should be seamless. Jie Yuanhao was stunned and asked, "What is the origin of that kid?" ”
Boss Huang said: "This kid is quite tall. He looks pretty handsome..."
Jie Yuanhao interrupted impatiently: "Talk about the point! ”
"That's the point, I don't know his name." Boss Huang said quite aggrievedly, "What now? ”
"You withdraw first, and register with Chen Yaoshen and Qin Zhenye, you are not good in the Jinling antique circle." Jie Yuanhao said helplessly,
"It's a pity that I originally wanted to take advantage of Song Huizong's "Thousand Character Text" copybook to sell at a sky-high price, and took the opportunity to make a fortune with fake and real, but I didn't expect such a disadvantage.
I don't know, what kind of character is this kid? ”
